When LilyPond 1.6.8 was released I finally got round to downloading and upgrading all the necessary software to produce Type1 versions of the LilyPond fonts so that 'ly2dvi -p' produced PDF files which look nicer in Acrobat Reader.
Everything seemed to work well, but when compiled up the same file using the old and new methods for comparison, I noticed that the bracket at the beginning of each line seems to shrink when you use the Type 1 fonts! It happens with several different .ly files I've tried, and it makes no difference whether I use the Type1 fonts I've generated or the ones downloaded from lilypond.org The problem is illustrated in the attached PNG files: vector.png shows the start of the music using Type1 fonts, and bitmap.png shows the same section using the bitmapped fonts. The PDF files are available at: http://www.mutopiaproject.org/test/fur-elise-vt.pdf http://www.mutopiaproject.org/test/fur-elise-bm.pdf and the .ly file is available at: http://www.mutopiaproject.org/ftp/BeethovenLv/WoO59/fur-elise/fur-elise.ly The effect is also visible in the LilyPond user manual (at the top of page 27, for example) downloadable from lilypond.org, so it is not confined to my system.
